Getting Ready
1. A microscope is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid
subjecting it to sudden or severe impact.
2. Do not use the microscope where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high
temperature and humidity, dust or vibrations. (For the operating condi-
tions, refer to chapter 5, “SPECIFICATIONS”.)
3. When moving the microscope, remove the modules that may drop
including the specimen from the microscope in advance, hold it by the
hand hook on the rear and the base as shown on the left (Fig. 3) and
carry carefully (Weight: approx. 16 kg).
# Before transporting the microscope, be sure to remove the speci-
men, eyepieces and color glass filter so that they will not drop. Also
remove other modules attached to the microscope because they
increase the system weight.
# Damage to the microscope will occur if you grasp it by the stage,
focus adjustment knob or binocular section of the observation tube.
4. The BX61 series can be used with up to two intermediate attachments
including a U-CA magnification changer, U-EPA2 eyepoint adjuster, etc.
For restrictions when using two intermediate attachments, make sure to
read the instruction manuals provided with the respective intermediate
attachments.

Maintenance and Storage
1. To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirty away using a commercially available blower and
wipe gently using a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze).
If a lens is stained with fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe it gauze slightly moistened with commercially available absolute
alcohol.
!
Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully.
Be sure to keep it away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks –– for example, electrical
equipment that is being switched on or off, which could cause ignition of a fire.
Also remember to always use it only in a well-ventilated room.
2. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the microscope components other than the glass components. To clean
them, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. Do not disassemble any part of the microscope as this could result in malfunction or reduced performance.
4. When not using the microscope, set the main switch to “ ” (OFF), wait until the lamp housing has cooled down, and
cover the microscope with a dust cover before storage.
5. When disposing of the microscope, check the regulations and rules of your local government and be sure to observe
them.
